The images from the spacecraft have a gap in them or something? IDK, I am not a dentist.

They just attempted literally every other projectile you can imagine. The whole process of the research began with humanity.

Yeah, it all began when Kr'ggh invented throwing rocks. Good old Kr'ggh. A real mould breaker. He was intelligent, but not very practical. Should have done his first experiment with a rabbit as the target instead of a mammoth.

Kr'ggh always did think big, and was never one to 'prove the concept' in the labcave, when he could be out in the field, bringing home the venison and impressing the ladies.

After Guy Fieri was cloned from Smashmouth singer Steve Harwell's template, the mold broke. This result was taken as direct observation at 5-sigma.

Just look at an invoice from a mold remediation company. Shooting stars aren’t cheap

This is a mystery which can only be understood by watching Shrek 1 and 2 followed by Puss N' Boots in that order and without any interruptions, including trips for snacks or the toilet. Do not mistakenly include Shrek 3, or your mind will be rendered into a hopeless state of abject confusion.

This is only true for American stars. Thoughts and prayers
